Next was Tashtego, an unmixed Indian from Gay Head, the most westerly promontory 1 of Martha's Vineyard, 其次就是塔斯蒂哥,他是一个该黑特的纯种印第安人,那地方还有一群红种人的遗民,

where there still exists the last remnant of a village of red men, which has long supplied the neighboring island of Nantucket with many of her most daring harpooneers. 也是长期把许多最勇敢的标枪手供给附近的南塔开特岛的地方。
In the fishery, they usually go by the generic 3 name of Gay-Headers. 在捕鲸业中,一般都管他们叫该黑特佬。
Tashtego's long, lean, sable 4 hair, his high cheek bones, and black rounding eyes-for an Indian, Oriental in their largeness, 塔斯蒂哥那头细长的黑发,他那高高的颧骨,和一双滚圆的眼睛...
but Antarctic in their glittering expression-all this sufficiently 5 proclaimed him an inheritor of the unvitiated blood of those proud warrior 6 hunters, who, in quest of the great New England moose, had scoured 7, bow in hand, the aboriginal 8 forests of the main. 因为一个印第安人,虽然有东方式的魁梧,却也有南极式那种闪闪发光的脸色...这一切都足以说明他是那些自豪的武士猎人的纯血统后裔,他们在搜索新英格兰的大麋时,手里拿着弓,已经跑遍了那些主要的原始山林。
But no longer snuffing in the trail of the wild beasts of the woodland, Tashtego now hunted in the wake of the great whales of the sea; 但是,塔斯蒂哥现在已不再想探索山林里的野兽的踪迹,而来到海上紧追大鲸了;这个后裔已经用那百发百中的标枪,
the unerring harpoon 2 of the son fitly replacing the infallible arrow of the sires. 恰如其份地替代了他祖先的万无一失的弓箭。
To look at the tawny 9 brawn 10 of his lithe 11 snaky limbs, you would almost have credited the superstitions 12 of some of the earlier Puritans and half-believed this wild Indian to be a son of the Prince of the Powers of the Air. 看到他那柔软如蛇的四肢上的茶色肌肉,简直教人相信起早期若干清教徒的迷信,而五分相信这个野蛮的印第安人就是魔王的后代。
Tashtego was Stubb the second mate's squire 13. 塔斯蒂哥是二副斯塔布的随从。
Third among the harpooneers was Daggoo, a gigantic, coal-black negro-savage, with a lion-like tread--an Ahasuerus to behold 14. 在标枪手中名列第三的是大个儿,这个巨人似的,脸膛煤黑的野黑人,走起路来活象一只狮子...看来就象是亚哈随鲁王。
Suspended from his ears were two golden hoops 15, so large that the sailors called them ringbolts, and would talk of securing the top-sail halyards to them. 他两只耳朵挂有两个大金箍,大得水手们都把它叫做螺钉环,说是这两只环环可以用来缚中桅帆的升降索。
